Acid Rain Emerges as Growing New England Problem
In New England acid precipitation has risen about 100 fold over 20 years with storms reaching acidity levels 1000 times normal. The pH of rain now averages around 4.0, sourced mainly from sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from power plants, mills, and autos. Hubbard Lake NH shows anomalously high acidity, supporting long range sulfur dioxide dispersion. EPA studies and international collaboration seek to clarify health and ecological impacts and mitigation options.
